AMS News

Welcome to this week’s marketing minute tip.

Well the rules have changed and for Realtors who do a lot of advertising on Craigslist, the rules going forward will be a little different than what we are used to.

To start with they have taken away the use of hotlinks in the ad. They have taken away the privilege of putting a domain name in the ad. And if you think you can get away with it don’t waste your time. They have monitoring software in place and if your ad doesn’t meet with the rules and regulations your ad will be gone, easy as that!

Craigslist has been a fairly good way to generate on line leads over the years so this situation has presented itself as a real roadblock for some. The AMS toll free recorded hotline is a great solution to this dilemma. Lots of people will not put a hotline number in an online ad feeling that if the prospect is going online for information, they certainly wouldn’t go offline to a toll free number for the information they are looking for. Well in this case, and with these new restrictions where the ad is no longer allowed to redirect to a landing page, the CTA would be to direct the prospect to call into the toll free recorded message hotline.

And if that isn’t simple enough, if the prospect is calling from their mobile device, the mobile enhanced hotline feature can send the prospect a text message while they are listening to your voice script, that directs them to a url in which you can provide more information to them online and gather more information from them.

In the case of real estate, your ad must be property specific. Your headline will have a huge bearing on how effective your ad will be. Remember it’s the headline’s job to sell the ad and then use the toll free hotline as your Call To Action.

By changing up your game plan slightly, using this sound and proven hotline technology you too can continue to advertise on Craigslist!

Welcome to this week’s marketing minute tip.

Today I’m going to share nine ways Toll-Free Recorded Message Hotlines capture qualified leads for you. In case you thought you knew all there was to know about recorded message hotlines and what they can do for you, check out the following to be sure.

Are you using your own toll-free number? Statistics show that callers are three times more likely to call a toll-free number than a local number, and with your own number you are secure in knowing you won’t lose your prospect to someone else.

Can your system handle multiple callers at the same time? Multiple callers should be able to listen to your scripts at the same time, so you don’t have to worry about prospects ever getting a busy signal.

Do you have on-line statistical reporting? Can you access detailed and updated reports of the activity on your hotline through a web interface?

Do you have message notification? A system that can text or email you with call details as soon as someone listens to a script on your hotline or leaves you a message, so you can respond to your leads while they’re still hot.

Are you using a Find Me Transfer? Increase your flexibility with a hotline that can be set up so callers can be automatically transferred to you if they wish by simply pressing 0.

Do you use professionally recorded proven scripts? These are a good way to give your professional image a boost and make sure the right message is consistently delivered to your prospects every time.

Are you using transcription services? You can save yourself a lot of time and toll charges by having your messages professionally transcribed and emailed to you every week day morning.

Are you able to automatically send a short text message to your prospect while they listen to one of your scripts? Perhaps the price of the house they’re calling about or a url sending them to a page that gives them more information and gets them to fill an opt in form that gives you more specifics of what they are looking for.

These are just a few of the many features and benefits of our Toll Free Recorded Message Hotlines. Kind of makes you wonder why you aren’t using one.

Welcome to this week’s marketing minute tip.

Ever wondered how the top performers in your field manage to work so little and earn so much? They do this by keeping the lid on a secret they hope you never discover.

Toll Free Recorded Messages

You’ve heard me talk about them before, these short, professional recordings prospects can call into day or night to request your Special Report or white paper and be automatically added to your mailing list. But do you know WHY they work so well?

1. Because a toll free number that has the recorded messages is less threatening and free. Even if you use a local area code, statistics show people are still more likely to call a toll free number. We don’t know why. We just know that’s what the tests confirm every time and, we’ve seen hundreds of them.

2. Your recorded message is providing a consistent message every time. No chance that a new or untrained employee can deliver a message that is not consistent with what you want to convey.

3. You can be notified via text message or e-mail every time someone listens to one of your recorded scripts or when you have new messages.

4. You can view caller activity online and even see:
-> a. How long callers listened to your message before hanging up (so you’ll know what section of your message/script might need tweaking),
-> b. What area codes the majority of your calls are coming from (so you’ll know what area your advertising is having the biggest impact),
-> c. Determine which ads are prompting prospects to call you and which aren’t (so you can quit wasting money on advertising that isn’t working).

…and so much more!

Kind of makes you wonder why you haven’t been using this lead capture tool doesn’t it?

Welcome to this week’s marketing minute tip.

To explain the subject line easily, Givers Gain Even in Sales. You see, contrary to popular belief, the solution to closing more sales is not to withhold information but to give itand freely. Here’s what I mean.

More specifically, deliver information in the form of a FREE Special Report or Booklet or white paper. You see, these are simple tools that give useful information to the reader while at the same time uncovering the benefits of your product or service.

If you’re always trying to sell, you are seen as a salesman. If you’re providing useful information that helps people solve their problems, you’re seen as a consultant or educator providing options to potential clients. The more information you give prospects the more trust and confidence you will gain. Once you show value, things such as higher pricing than your competitor or a feature you may not offer are going to be much less of a sticking point. The reason being you’ve shown value for service. Like the old adage says you have to Give to Get”. It’s the law of attraction principle.

With this approach you quickly become the trusted advisor. And because you provided so much more value than the competition, because you’re right there in front of them, you become the only logical choice. Let’s use dental implants as an example. If I was someone looking to have an implant (which is a scary thing to most), I would choose someone who could educate me on the product, process, their experience with this procedure, their staff, their office, the cost, payment plans, etc. This would be someone I would need to trust implicitly before putting my mouth in their hands.

So here is the burning question. How do you send them this information without getting their contact information first? You can’t. This is where your lead capture tools like toll free hotlines, web landing/squeeze pages etc. come into play. Stay tuned as we introduce some of these tools and how they work, in the next several tips.

Welcome to this week’s Marketing Minute Tip. If you’re like most business owners out there today you’ve probably spent more than your fair share of tedious hours researching, writing, rewriting and stressing over creating profit-producing ads for your business.

All you really need to know is the 3-step fool-proof formula for writing ads. So what is it?

You may have even purchased information products or taken courses or just spent hour after hour studying other great ads and in the end you’re not sure you’re any better off than when you started. Although it’s not a great place to be, there is hope.

Identify the problem your ideal prospect is having,
Agitate that problem or their pain by using emotionally descriptive examples they can relate to,
and give the prospect the solution to their problem!

Here are a few of my favorite examples of how this works…

Example 1:

WARNING – Don’t Hire Any Financial Planner Until You Read This FREE Report!

Any Town, ST – Did you know that all financial planners are not the same? And, if you need to get some help planning your financial future, you need to be sure about who you’re dealing with before you make any moves! Most people really don’t know what questions to ask or what things they should be aware of. When it comes to your money, you had better know! Picking the right planner can be wonderful, but picking the wrong one can be a big mistake.

In today’s economy, you cannot afford to take any chances with the wrong advice or the wrong advisor. We have prepared a FREE REPORT called “The Nine Questions You Must Ask An Advisor Before You Hire Them!” To get a FREE copy of this report, call 1-800-666-1040, 24 hours, for a FREE RECORDED MESSAGE.

Las Vegas – If you’re going on a trip, and want to find out how to get the best deal on your travel expenses…make sure you don’t get ripped off!

Example 3:

Stop Wasting Money On Rent

Before you spend another cent on rent, know that there are several options to help you own a home of your own. Every month, when you write your rent check, you’re helping someone else build equity, prepare for the future, pay off a mortgage. You could be doing all of this for YOURSELF. But you’re not, because you probably think that renting is the only option in your situation – IT’S NOT! If you earn a modest income, then you can buy a home of your own. You don’t need tens of thousands of dollars to put down, you don’t have to have a perfect credit rating, you don’t even have to be 100% sure that you want to buy right now. A FREE Special Report explains how you can break out of the renter cycle and into home ownership. To hear a brief pre-recorded message about how to order your copy of this free report, call 1-800-111-5555 and enter ID# 4141 or go to www.RentFree.com. Every dollar you pay in rent, is a dollar you’re NOT investing in your future!

You’ll also notice that in every case, these ads not only provide an easy, clear-cut solution, but one that helps you identify who the prospects are and provides a means for marketing to them again and again and again. Strategic, systematic and consistent ads are the solution to lucrative marketing, not struggle, strain and study.
